Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

A STRONG UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCE IS MOVING ACROSS NORTH ALABAMA AND NORTH GEORGIA THIS EVENING...WHILE AN UNSEASONABLY WARM AND VERY UNSTABLE AIR MASS IS IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION. .PRIMARY HAZARD... THE PRIMARY HAZARD FROM THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY MORNING WILL BE LARGE HAIL...MOSTLY PENNY TO QUARTER-SIZED HAIL...BUT SOME STORMS COULD STILL PRODUCE GOLF BALL SIZE HAIL...ESPECIALLY BEFORE MIDNIGHT. IN ADDITION...DANGEROUS CLOUD-TO-GROUND LIGHTNING AND LOCALLY VERY HEAVY RAIN ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE NORTH OF A LINE FROM CEDARTOWN...TO ATLANTA...TO MILLEDGEVILLE...TO LOUISVILLE. .DISCUSSION... A VERY WARM AND VERY UNSTABLE AIR MASS IS IN PLACE ACROSS GEORGIA TODAY. A POTENT UPPER-LEVEL SHORT WAVE WAS RACING ACROSS THE AREA FROM THE WEST. CAPES OF 500 TO 1000...LIFTED INDICES OF -2 TO -4...SHOWALTERS TO -3. IN ADDITION...THE ENERGY HELICTY INDEX IS AS HIGH AS 1.5 IN WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. ABUNDANT LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE IS ALSO IN PLACE. THIS HAS SET THE STAGE FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SEVERE SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS AND SEVERE MULTI-CELL THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE EVENING. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM HAS BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE LARGE DAMAGING HAIL. THE THREAT SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT ENOUGH INSTABILITY EXISTS FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE EVEN AFTER MIDNIGHT ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA...ALTHOUGH THEY ARE EXPECTED TO BE SEVERE LIMITS. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION REMAINS POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA...MOSTLY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 20...UNTIL 2 AM EST TUESDAY MORNING. EMERGENCY MANAGERS WILL NEED TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE SITUATION CLOSELY THROUGH 2 AM EST TUESDAY FOR POSSIBLE ACTIVATION OF EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTERS. HOWEVER...THE THREAT FOR HAIL GREATER IN SIZE THAN GOLF BALLS APPEARS TO HAVE DIMINISHED. .DAY TWO THROUGH DAY SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH MONDAY... AN EXTREMELY UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL BE PRESENT OVER THE AREA TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES. HOWEVER...THE MID AND UPPER-LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL UNDERGO CONSIDERABLE DRYING TUESDAY. THIS SHOULD INHIBIT THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER...IF ANY THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP TUESDAY...THEY COULD QUICKLY BECOME SEVERE. HAZARDOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED FOR THE PERIOD WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY AS COLDER AIR MOVES BACK INTO THE REGION. && FOR THE GRAPHICAL HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK AND OTHER WEATHER INFORMATION...PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT WEATHER.GOV...AND CLICK ON GEORGIA.
